How To Be Unmothered by Camille U. Adams
A Trinidadian Memoir
How to Be Unmothered is a lyrical memoir set in Trinidad, where Camille U. Adams traces a family history of women who abandon their daughters and the island’s colonial legacies of violence. Adams writes about a fraught relationship with a controlling mother, the danger and poverty of her neighborhood, and the small consolations of the natural world as she navigates survival. The book explores escape, self-determination, and what it means to rebuild a life when the maternal bond is broken.
